All Hail Cousin Brother

Everyone in the Xie Mansion was shocked.

After a long while, Mr. Xie said: "The Queen Mother...isn't it true..."

The emperor is sealed off from the palace, and the queen mother has the responsibility of assisting in government affairs. All matters in the government are handed over to the queen mother for decision-making after being discussed and drafted by the cabinet ministers. This is not considered to be an autocratic intervention in government.

However, if the decision is made privately, it will be suspected of interfering in politics with authority.

The seal attached to this piece of paper is somewhat intriguing.

Yu Youyao had a thought in her mind: "The Queen Mother is fairly fair in her dealings, and rewards and punishments are clear. The matter of sealing her is a sure thing, whether it has been decided by the cabinet or not."

Everyone in the Xie Mansion heard the profound meaning.

Mr. Xie nodded: "That's right. There are only two assistants in the cabinet. Mr. Han Ge has lost power, and the royalist party is powerful, but his arms can't twist his legs. Xiao Yao'er not only alleviated the drought for the court, but also promoted national policies. With Anbang For the great achievement of establishing the country, the princess was originally granted the title of "long", which only added a little more honor and wealth. Why should the courtiers offend the Queen Mother in such a matter?"

The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager have jurisdiction over domestic and foreign wives, and have the power to reward their family members.

When the emperor wants to grant a royal title to his family members, he must first listen to the opinions of the queen mother or empress. The content of the title is drafted by the queen mother or empress and handed over to the emperor for promulgation.

The Queen Mother's behavior was not too outrageous.

Mr. Xie believed deeply: "The courtiers are well aware of the conspiracy behind the Han family in Xi'an, and the Queen Mother's anger is not concealed. No one will touch the Queen Mother's troubles at this juncture."

How valuable is the Queen Mother's status? The Han family in Xi'an tried to challenge the authority of the Queen Mother. How could the Queen Mother tolerate it?

Rewarding Xiaoyao'er expresses the Queen Mother's determination to stabilize the country and suppress the Han family in Xi'an.

It’s for the world to see.

Let everyone in the world know that the majesty of the imperial court, the majesty of the royal family, and the authority of the Queen Mother cannot be challenged;

For Princess Shaoyi who promoted national policies, resettled disaster victims, and alleviated the drought, the generous reward was unabashedly generous. It was also to let the world know that the imperial court's determination to promote national policies, resettle victims, and alleviate the drought should not be ignored. This is In order to stabilize people’s hearts;

Anyone like the Han family in Xi'an who wants to despise the imperial court, provoke the majesty of the heavenly family, and bring trouble to the country at this juncture for their own selfish interests, the Han family in Xi'an will suffer.

"Right now, the top priority is to successfully promote national policies, resettle disaster victims, alleviate drought, and stabilize the country. And the key to all of this is Xiao Yao'er. The reason for rewarding Xiao Yao'er is also for the sake of stability. The people in the north are Given the situation, all those who obstruct it, without exception, are working against the imperial court.”

As long as the courtiers are not stupid, they will not jump out and oppose the Queen Mother's decision at this time.

Otherwise, once you are labeled as a "Korean Party", you will be in doom.

Xie Xun also said: "Last year when there was a flood in Zhejiang, the victims received relief from the court and non-governmental organizations, but the relief was only temporary. The flooded land was so sandy that within a year and a half, it was almost impossible to grow food. But Xiao Yao'er ordered people to promote sweet potato planting in the disaster-stricken areas in Zhejiang. The people who were affected by the disaster relied on sweet potatoes to grow their rations for the second half of the year. The shadow of floods in Zhejiang was also due to the high yield of sweet potatoes. Then disperse."

Food is the most important thing for the people. Since ancient times, there has not been a crop as low-income, high-yielding and full-bodied as the sweet potato.

This is also the reason why the imperial court attaches great importance to promoting the cultivation of sweet potatoes.

At the same time, the treasury was empty and the court was unable to provide disaster relief. However, the lives of tens of millions of people could not be ignored, otherwise public resentment would spread and riots and uprisings would occur frequently.

The imperial court sent troops to quell the chaos. Where did the huge military expenditure come from?

If the chaos is not quelled, the empire of the Zhou Dynasty will be in danger.

At this juncture, Princess Shaoyi and King Wu Mu could step forward, which not only preserved the dignity and dignity of the court, but also gave tens of millions of victims a way to survive.

The royalist faction spared no effort to support Xiao Yao'er.

That's why Xiao Yao'er was able to achieve such great respect by trying to grow sweet potatoes.

"Xiao Yao'er came to Liaodong out of righteousness, but she was almost framed by the Han family in Xi'an. She really suffered a great injustice. The case of the Han family in Xi'an became known to the whole world, and everyone was talking about it. , the imperial court cannot treat it as if it never happened, it must be merciful and appeasing, otherwise it would be unreasonable to reward him with something."

This is based on emotion and reason, and from the standpoint of the country, rewards and punishments are clear.

Who dares to object?

Mrs. Xie sighed softly: "Although Xiao Yao'er has been granted the title of Princess Chang, she still feels like she is stuck in her throat just thinking about the various schemes in the palace, but she doesn't know how much is hidden behind this supreme honor. The mind is so treacherous that I feel frightened just thinking about it.”

Yu Youyao took it seriously.

Mr. Xie frowned: "Since ancient times, the benefits of the Tianjia have been obtained in vain. No matter how much you get now, you will have to be driven by it in the future, and it will mess up your brains. Earlier, Xiao Yao'er took the title of a county head. He lost most of his belongings."

The family looked at the bright yellow embroidered phoenix imperial edict on the table and sighed helplessly.

The atmosphere in the room was also a bit solemn.

Although it seems to be a supreme honor to outsiders, no one feels happy about it.

At this time, Yu Youyao smiled: "It's too far away to say that the future will come from Destiny. From the current point of view, it is a good thing that I have been granted the title of Princess Princess. I think that in the near future, once the news comes out, the northern border will Those gentry who are still taking chances may not be able to sit still."

The gentry restrained the feudal king because the imperial court deliberately restrained the feudal king, so as to prevent the feudal king from relying on his own troops and overpowering his master.

The gentry is confident.

But the one who wants to suppress the gentry now is the Queen Mother who is now in charge of the government, and she also represents the wishes of the court.

The protective umbrella of the gentry was gone.

The issue of "overthrowing South Korea" is even more logical.

Mr. Xie took a look at the rewards placed aside: "The rewards given by the Queen Mother are all rare tributes, but they mostly revolve around Xiao Yao'er's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and they are also mixed with many precious spices and medicinal materials. You know It's bitterly cold in Liaodong, so I specially ordered people to prepare it."

It can be seen that there is still a heart.

Just how much of this heart is unknown, but at least he will protect Xiao Yao'er as long as it does not harm his own interests.

Yu Youyao also discovered this.

Then, Mr. Xie looked at the rewards on the other side again: "Most of the rewards given by the Queen are flashy, extremely rare, rare, and rare. If you take any of them, they are all rare treasures," he said. , he paused for a moment, then became more solemn: "The intention of [to win over] is obvious, you have to weigh it in your mind."

When he mentioned the word win over, his tone was a little complicated, with an unusual meaning.
